[PATCH 2/3] ARM: vfp: Use vfp_lock() in vfp_sync_hwstate().

vfp_sync_hwstate() uses preempt_disable() followed by local_bh_disable()
to ensure that it won't get interrupted while checking the VFP state.
This harms PREEMPT_RT because softirq handling can get preempted and
local_bh_disable() synchronizes the related section with a sleeping lock
which does not work with disabled preemption.

Use the vfp_lock() to synchronize the access.
